I know that it is already after Christmas, but I did not have a quiet moment to show you my button tree. So here it is:All the best for all of you for the 2009!Be happy, be creative, love and be loved!xoxo,Joanna (Cwasia)

I just took apart a button tree that I did a couple years back but never liked. I've come to the conclusion that they look best with just one color of button all over. Mine was pink and aqua and it just looked like a big ol' mess! Monochromatic is best.

Neabear - thank you :* A tutorial? Hmmm... it's quite simple: I used green florist's foam, then white cotton ribbon to cover the green, and then pins and beads to attach the buttons, starting from the bigger ones, then smaller and smaller....and that's it :)

Knitty - :* I had a ot of white buttons, and I wanted White Christmas, so white was the colour of my choice :). Other colours would look great also, but I didn't have enough buttons.

The Queen of Fifty Cents - :* Thank you very much!

Heidi - :* Thank you very much!Could you show us a picture of your tree? I am very curious how it looked like in pink and aqua.

Barbara H. - :* Thank you very much! The buttons are only pinned on.

Jenclair - :* Thank you very much!

Misselaineous - :* Thank you very much!Don't wait till next Christmas, do you tree now and show us!

Your white tree is so beautiful! What a wonderful idea. And not only for Christmas. Think of how pretty a button tree with pink, purple, red or heart-shaped buttons would look for Valentine's Day ... or bunny and such shaped buttons for Easter. Oh the possibities are almost endless. You've gotten my creative juices flowing. Thanks so much for sharing!

i absolutely LOVE your button tree!! Thank you so much for sharing such AWESOME inspiration! i, now, look forward to gathering up ALL & ANY white buttons around my house!! :D Hope you have a GREAT day!
